Sun 3rd Nov dry?

Never asked this before and probably never will again but does anyone know if Sunday the 3rd of November is a dry night?

I didn't think so as it's not a relgious holiday...but the Lush Index says it is dry.

Plus it's Grand Prix night, so they may fiddle it if it's supposed to be dry?

It's been announced that Dubai will be dry from 5.30pm on Sunday 3rd November until 7.30pm on Monday 4th. This is from The Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing for Dubai which has also said there should be no 'entertainment' during that period.

It's always dry on Islamic New Year, but let's see how they get around this for the final Grand Prix concert...

Maybe Yas Island will become a designated exempt free-zone area for the day?

Absolutely..several years ago the World Cup was on a dry day..Shk Mo declared it an "International event" and Nad al Sheba was the only place serving booze that day :D
